Guess what? Today is national popcorn day! This snickers caramel popcorn is amazingly delicious, super addicting, and perfect any time you need an over-the-top treat (which, for me, is most of the time). I made my favorite crunchy caramel corn, tossed in some peanuts, and topped it with chopped Snickers and a delicious milk chocolate drizzle. It’s fun to make and even more fun to eat!

Snickers Caramel Popcorn

1/2 cup popcorn kernels
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup corn syrup
2 teaspoons molasses
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup shelled peanuts
2 full size Snickers bars, cut into pieces
3/4 cup milk chocolate melting wafers (I used Guittard)

Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels and shake to coat with oil. When the kernels begin to pop, place the lid on the pot and continue popping until most of the kernels are popped and there is only one pop every few seconds. Remove from heat and pour into a large bowl to cool.

Preheat the oven to 250. In a medium pot, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, molasses, and butter. Heat over medium heat until the mixture reaches a simmer. Simmer until the mixture reaches 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda, sea salt, and vanilla. Pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn and toss to coat. Add the peanuts and toss to distribute. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Bake 15 minutes, then toss the popcorn, and bake an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool ten minutes.

When the popcorn has cooled slightly, sprinkle with the Snickers pieces. Melt the wafers in a microwave safe bowl at 50% power for 30 second intervals, stirring in between. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn. Allow to cool completely, then break into pieces.
